Omission as the Modern Form of Bias Against Indigenous Peoples
In the U.S. cultural imag ination\, Indigenous Peoples loom large in romanticized and stereotyped way s\, yet contemporary Indigenous Peoples are largely omitted from the public conscience. In K-12 education\, for example\, 87% of references to Indigen ous Americans portray them in a pre-1900’s context. In mainstream media\, l ess than .5% of representations are of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. Uti lizing both experimental and national survey studies\, I will demonstrate t hat prevalent representations of Indigenous Peoples (or lack thereof) shape how people think\, feel\, and subsequently act towards Indigenous Peoples\ , as well as how Indigenous Peoples feel about themselves and act to make c hange in society. Specifically\, I will first show that recognizing Indigen ous omission shapes discrimination and both implicit and explicit bias towa rds Indigenous Peoples\, including attitudes about the use of redface\, and apathy towards the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls epidemi c. I will then show how sensitivity to Indigenous omission has adverse psyc hological consequences for Indigenous Peoples’ wellbeing\, but also serves to galvanize efforts to change the status quo through civic engagement. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission and highlighting Ind igenous agency and resistance to omission\, we illuminate a path towards cr eating a more equitable future for Indigenous Peoples.

Annually the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series throughout the academic year. This exciting program brings us together outside of the classroom to have conversations with the speakers we’ve invited to our campus to share their ideas. You’ll have the chance to hear from international speakers on a wide range of provocative topics.
